FRQs• 1971 “Andrew Jackson’s election in 1828 was the

consequence of the rise of democracy rather than the start of a new democratic age.” Assess the validity of this statement.

United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity. In light of the following documents and your knowledge of the 1820's and 1830's, to what extent do you agree with Jacksonian's view of themselves?

• 1980 "The Decision of the Jackson Administration to remove the Cherokee Indians to lands west of the Mississippi River in the 1830's was more a reformulation of the national policy that had been in effect since the 1790's than a change in that policy." Assess the validity of this generalization with reference to the moral, political, constitutional, and practical concerns that shaped national Indian policy between 1789 and the mid-1830's.
